I would disagree since I also did research. It's within the buget anyway. Do you have any better suggestions? If you wanna say it's overkill at least be specific ;) Keep in mind I will be Recording at 1080p, Streaming at 1080p30 & Gaming at max settings all at the same time and for hours and I will want to maintain 30FPS and then afterwards I'll be editing giant recordings that are hours long. Not being condescending just listing my uses. The Monitor will be 1920x1080p. I will cap the frames at 30FPS. I will own a capture card.
